NoobNeb Distinguished Sep 8, 2011 4 0 18,510 Nov 9, 2011 #1 I have a friend with a HP Pavillion dv6 and he can only connect to his wifi if he's in the same room as the modem. Other laptops can connect to the wifi from any room in the house so I'm pretty sure the problem is the laptop. Can you guys help out??
